1️⃣3️⃣ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

💰 Commission & Earnings:

Q: How much can I realistically earn?

A: Earnings vary based on effort and audience size. Here are realistic ranges:

  • Casual (5-10 hours/week): $50-$200/month
  • Part-time (10-20 hours/week): $200-$600/month
  • Serious (20+ hours/week): $600-$2,000+/month
  • Full-time pros: $2,000-$10,000+/month

Remember: You start with a $5 welcome bonus, so you're already earning before your first sale!

Q: Do I earn commission on my own purchases?

A: Typically NO - affiliate programs don't allow self-referrals. Check your specific program terms in the dashboard, but generally:

  • ❌ Don't use your own affiliate link
  • ❌ Don't have family members use your link for their purchases
  • ✅ You can use the WELCOME code for your own 10% discount though!

Q: What if a customer returns their order?

A: If a customer returns their purchase:

  • The commission will be reversed/deducted
  • This is why there's a 7-day approval period
  • You only keep commission on completed, non-returned sales
  • This is standard practice across all affiliate programs

Q: Can I stack the WELCOME code with other coupons?

A: Check Sarah Express coupon policy, but typically:

  • One coupon code per order
  • WELCOME code can't be combined with other codes
  • Promote whichever code offers the best value

Q: Do I get commission on the full order or just the products I linked?

A: Great question! Typically:

  • ✅ You earn on THE ENTIRE ORDER
  • ✅ Even if they buy additional items you didn't mention
  • ✅ As long as they used your affiliate link to enter the site
  • This is one reason why linking to the homepage can work well!

🔗 Links & Tracking:

Q: How long does my affiliate link track customers?

A: Check your dashboard for exact cookie duration, but typically:

  • 30-90 days from initial click
  • If they return within this period and buy, you still get credit
  • Even if they don't buy on first visit!

Find this under: Dashboard → Settings → Tracking Info

Q: Can I promote on multiple platforms?

A: Absolutely! In fact, it's encouraged:

  • ✅ Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Blog, Email - use them all!
  • ✅ Same affiliate link works everywhere
  • ✅ Or create different links to track each platform
  • ✅ No limits on where you can share

Q: What if my affiliate link doesn't work?

A: Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Test the link in incognito/private browser
  2. Check that your referral code is in the URL
  3. Make sure link hasn't been shortened incorrectly
  4. Verify your account is active and approved
  5. Check dashboard to see if clicks are tracking
  6. Try generating a fresh link
  7. Contact support if issue persists

Q: Can I use link shorteners like Bitly?

A: Yes, but with caution:

  • ✅ Bitly, TinyURL generally work fine
  • ✅ Make sure affiliate code is preserved
  • ⚠️ Some platforms (Facebook) may flag shortened links
  • ✅ Test before sharing widely
  • 💡 GoAffPro may have built-in shortening - check dashboard first

💳 Payments & Withdrawals:

Q: Can I withdraw before reaching $20?

A: No, the minimum payout threshold is $20:

  • This is a firm minimum
  • Standard across most affiliate programs
  • Reduces transaction fees
  • With your $5 welcome bonus, you only need $15 more in sales!

Q: How long does it take to receive payment?

A: Timeline breakdown:

  • Commission approval: 7 days after sale
  • Payout request: Process same day/instantly
  • PayPal: Usually instant, up to 24 hours

    • PayPal: Usually free for domestic, small fee for international
    • Bank: May have incoming transfer fees (check with your bank)

📱 Platform-Specific Questions:

Q: Can I put affiliate links directly in Instagram posts?

A: Instagram limitations:

  • ❌ Links in captions don't work (not clickable)
  • ✅ Link in bio (always works)
  • ✅ Instagram Stories with link sticker
  • ✅ Swipe-up in Stories (10k+ followers or verified)
  • ✅ Shopping tags (if set up)
  • 💡 Strategy: "Link in bio" + direct people there in captions

Q: Can I use affiliate links on TikTok?

A: Yes!

  • ✅ Link in bio (all accounts)
  • ✅ Direct links in captions (may need business account)
  • ✅ TikTok Shop (if available in your region)
  • 💡 Most successful: Bio link + "Link in bio" call-out in videos

Q: What about YouTube affiliate links?

A: YouTube is affiliate-friendly:

  • ✅ Links in video descriptions
  • ✅ Pinned comments
  • ✅ Cards and end screens
  • ⚠️ Must disclose: "This video contains affiliate links"
  • ✅ Can verbally mention products and direct to description

🎯 Strategy & Success:

Q: I don't have many followers - can I still succeed?

A: Absolutely! Here's why:

  • ✅ Micro-influencers (1k-10k) often have higher engagement
  • ✅ Engaged audience > large audience
  • ✅ Start with friends/family
  • ✅ Quality content matters more than follower count
  • ✅ Niche audiences convert better
  • 💡 Many successful affiliates started with <500 followers

Q: How long until I see my first sale?

A: Varies, but typical timeline:

  • First clicks: Within 24 hours of sharing
  • First sale: 1-7 days for most people
  • Consistent sales: 2-4 weeks of regular promotion
  • 💡 Some affiliates make their first sale within hours!
  • 💡 Others take a few weeks - don't give up!

Q: Do I need to buy products to promote them?

A: No, but it helps:

  • ❌ Not required - you can promote without purchasing
  • ✅ Use product images/info from Sarah Express website
  • ✅ Share honest reviews from the site
  • ✅ BUT: Personal experience = better content = higher conversions
  • 💡 Strategy: Buy 1-2 items you genuinely want, create content around those

Q: Can I promote Sarah Express in other countries?

A: Check if Sarah Express ships internationally:

  • Visit sarahexpress.com
  • Check shipping policy/available countries
  • If they ship there, you can promote there!
  • Commission works the same regardless of customer location

  • ✅ Builds trust with audience
  • ✅ Simple disclosure: "#ad" "#affiliate" or "I earn commission"
  • ✅ Must be clear and conspicuous (not hidden)

Q: Do I need to pay taxes on affiliate earnings?

A: Consult a tax professional, but generally:

  • ✅ Affiliate income is taxable in most countries
  • ✅ Treated as self-employment/business income
  • ✅ Keep records of all earnings
  • ✅ Download payment history from dashboard
  • 💡 Set aside 20-30% for taxes if in US
